I must admit, between this and the previous episode, the show has gotten a lot more interesting now.

Regarding the case itself, I wonder if we'll meet other dangerous people like this guy in the future. Hanasaki and Yoshio makes a surprisingly decent team.

Agreed, seems to be picking up finally.

Not sure about getting interesting, but Gackt actually had more than one line this episode, that's something.

Fairly decent episode.

We get the rest of the flashback about Inoue, Turns out he isn't actually crippled but only traumatized psychologically. Hopefully he can get himself to walk soon.
Was nice to see Kobyashi working hard to survive and get the info to the others.

Liked how they updated the map in realtime using those surveyor drones.
Not entirely sure how Inoue found the right way to Twenty Faces, He said that by looking at the overwritten locations he was able to find the way. How exactly does one do that?

I felt the entire interaction with Twenty Faces was bland and unexciting, He didn't really have this Master Villain feel. I don't know , his whole 'villainy' felt really uninspired.

By far the best episode. The futuristic style of this anime is the best part for me, it looks really good.

Other than that, Twenty Faces is not impressive, but there's more to him definitely than he shows atm.

Decent backstory with Inoue and Katsuda.

Basically, using the real map and the fake map in combination, you can find places Twenty Faces wants or doesn't want you to go. Looking at which paths were hidden in the fake map or even paths that were added, it's pretty clever actually.

I really enjoyed this episode, great mind game. I just hope Kobayashi can take a level in badass later on, so far, he's really overshadowed by the rest of the cast. Oh and anyone notice this show has a pretty good soundtrack? I particularly like the song during the chase with Twenty Faces and the action sequence at the end of episode 3.

Inoue's handicap was from the mental stress and anxiety but he's saved by Katsuda and is now starting to walk :)
The flying machine things also came in handy to map out the place.
20 faces wants to put distrust in the police but is beat in the nick of time this time and he is interested in Kobayashi.

This show keeps getting more interesting, every new ep is even more amazing than tha other one.

It was good to see a bit of Inoue's background even though it was a sad one. But everything ended up fine! I'm too curious about what's coming next.

P.S: Kobayashi is me when I'm around food HAHAHA

I feel the same way when eating McDonald's, you need about ten burgers to fill up your stomach.
Baddie is a bit bland but I guess not every baddie needs superpowers if he can just cause problems and this seemed more a game to him to feel out the club than to actually be some grand scheme to take control of destroy stuff.

Yeah, hopefully the score goes up now, I don't know why this series doesn't get more love really. It proved to be pretty good already and I feel they're even saving some better ideas for later. Easily the most underrated show of the season, the fact that Izetta is beating this is pretty much proof the scores don't mean shit.

When was that again? With the genre of the series, it's possibly foreshadowing. I at least know the start of episode 2 showed that one leg was prosthetic, maybe it has something to do with that.

What's wrong with the characters? They've all been unique in terms of personality and Inoue and Kobayashi both had some story explored.

Neither can I. This whole show feels really shounen. But I'm still enjoying the show anyway. Even the OP itself sounds like the stuff you get from old school shounen shows.

Strange, I personally thought the characters were somewhat relate-able. Guess it's a matter of taste here.

Anyway, I think it's pretty cool how there was that fake map mention last week so from episode 4, they already hinted on how Kobayashi and Inoue could have found Twenty Faces all along. They went with it in the end though and it worked out pretty well.

If every major arc goes this way then this will be a damn fun show.

Best episode so far. Based on more backstory for Inoue, now we know why he doesn't walk. His character is the only one I care about. Not so much for everyone else.

I think too many people turn away from this show too soon. It's the most ambitious anime of the season and as such, needs to take time to get good. I'm at least glad it decided to stick with natural pacing rather than ending up like Occultic;Nine.

Couldn't agree more. It's not a bad anime, looks good, Noro is cute but I don't actually like any of the characters.

Enjoyed these past two episodes because of how much they went into giving us explanation of why Inoue is in a wheelchair. I would certainly like to see more backstory of the characters like Akechi, Hanasaki and especially Kobayashi since we hardly know anything about him, his want for dying and how he got his power. I feel like it might be explained later on (hopefully), but it looks like since the villain made an appearance things will start getting more interesting.

I'm mostly interested in getting some exploration to Noro's character, at the moment, she just feels like a mascot, albeit a useful one. Kobayashi has his undying angst, Hanasaki has his boredom in school, Inoue has his feelings of responsibility after his past and it's pretty obvious there's a mystery to Akechi. Noro's the only one who hasn't been touched on yet.

Nope he is capable of walking , not before his bionic leg got sliced by Kobayashi's force field, what I'm asking is why hasn't he walking yet when his leg can be replaced by another bionic leg, watch ending part ep 1 . Cu'z Inuoe doesn't have his wheel chair and was clearly standing up during that time while point a gun at Kobayashi.

Well the show is better than it used to be. Not amazing but it has improved on the story telling/backstories of characters. Let's hope they can maintain this. But I'm still getting this weird yoai feeling with the characters. I'm not sure if this is their intention or not.

Good episode I really like Akechi,Inoue and Makoto. Plus this new villian is interesting. Only that emo fucking son of a bitch kobayashi is annoys the hell out of me I enjoy when I see he dies in the end hopefully. Hope to see Kobayashi suffer more in later episodes.
